Is he the Elvis of Comedy...or just an overgrown Fonzie? I asked Andrew Dice Clay that question -- he was not amused -- and much more and we're playing that conversation on this week's episode of "The Strip." Fair warning, though: This interview gets a bit bizarre and x-rated in places.

Why not join us at 7 p.m. PT at LVRocks.Com for the live stream, the chat room and the studio cam where you can see Miles and me record the program? And, yes, both of us are finally back in the studio -- without any health complaints and everything! Woo-hoo!

Plenty of Vegas news to mull over, too, from our two-week hiatus -- Michael Jackson, that racino and Lance Burton's announcement today come to mind. Also, the trivia question, the poll, listener feedback and, as always, the Top Secret Tourist Tip of the Week.Come on down or wait for the podcast version, which should be out tomorrow.
